Hello!
Amateur mechanic hour for a 2003 p5
I recently replaced the front brake pads and rotors and noticed a click/knocking/banging sound when I apply the brakes aggressively. The sound follows the rotation of the right tire. I pulled over to check and I can see light smoke/burning smell out of the left tire and just the smell on the right.
I took double check the rotors and the brake pads and everything seems ok during inspection. What am I doing wrong?
Am I torquing the bolts down incorrectly?
Thank you very much in advance
I followed these instructions: https://www.thinkythings.org/p5/brakes.html
Purchased the rotor and brake pad set from rockauto.
Video and pictures below. Thank you.
